Wedding Wedneday - The Venue Search Begins!

Yesterday I decided it was time to find a venue, I was getting quite stressed so called on my fab Twitter friends to help me and I was given some great suggestions.

I think we’ve decided to get married at a Registry Office and then go on to somewhere to have a sit down meal and then a reception. We looked at getting married at a venue but the costs are huge and we’ve only got a small budget.

At the moment our favourite venue is The Talking Point in Saddleworth, I love how it’s a Church but it’s not, I think churches are beautiful buildings but I’m not religious at all so with this I get the best of both worlds. I’m hoping it doesn’t work out too expensive because I’m really excited about this venue.

We did think about Dukes 92 in Manchester, it’s close to where we first lived together and we love that area but sadly I think it’s out of our price range.

So there you have it, I will keep you updated on my search and if anybody has any venue suggestions within Tameside & the surrounding areas, I’d be happy to hear them.

Try It Tuesday - DIY Cupcake Wrappers

Cupcake wrappers look great and are becoming increasingly popular, however they can be quite pricey so why not have a go at making your own?

I found this tutorial on www.intimateweddings.com and thought it was such a great idea and looked really easy,so thought I would share it with you.

Have a look at the tutorial here and let me know how you get on :)

Wedding Wednesday - I'm getting married!

Have I told you that I’m getting married?  I am, next summer, I’m really excited. 

I made a decision about our wedding a few weeks ago. (I should probably re-word that to WE made a decision but then I’d be lying). I love Twitter; I think it’s a great tool for small businesses like mine to network with other businesses, get ideas, inspiration and support. It’s also great for keeping up with the latest gossip hehe.

I decided that if it was practical and cost effective, I would use only Twitter suppliers for our wedding. I have already begun my search and chosen somebody to make our stationery - Make My Day UK (@makemydayuk), she makes the prettiest cards and invitations and I’m really excited about what our stationery will look like.

I mean look how gorgeous the invitation below is, so pretty!

 

You can find Make My Day UK's fab blog here.

I am now on the hunt for a venue in the North West, preferably one that will let have my dog at the wedding, long shot I know.

So there you have it, I will keep you updated over the next 18 months of how I’m getting on.

Try It Tuesday - Cupcake Stand

For the first Try It Tuesday feature, I have chosen a tutorial I found on Cake Journal a few months ago. It shows you how to make a Cupcake Stand using cake drums and dummies. 

It’s so versatile because you can cover the drums and dummies in any colour you like.

How To Make A Cupcake Stand 

You can find the tutorial here on Cake Journal.

New Features

On my travels around the blogging world, I’ve noticed that other bloggers do specific features on certain days, I really like this idea as it gives the blog a bit of direction instead of me just rambling on and it gives readers something to look forward to (I hope!).

Tuesdays are now Try It Tuesday, I will be featuring a tutorial, probably cake or wedding related each week for you to try. Mostly I will be using tutorials I find online but I may add one or two of my own.

Wednesdays are going to be Wedding Wednesday (original eh?) I am getting married next summer so I will be sharing my finds and ideas with you.

Last but definitely not least, Freebie Friday. This feature depends on how generous I can get suppliers to be with their products. I, of course will get the ball rolling with some fab Rainbow Delicious goodies but you’d get a bit sick of the same thing each week wouldn’t you? 

I will try to offer a new freebie each week but as the blog is in the early stages, it might not be possible. 

If you have a freebie you would like to share with my readers, please contact me, you will of course be fully credited with a link to your site. 

So there you go, some exciting news for Rainbow Delicious readers!

p.s. Did you share this blog with your friends? Remember, I need readers to spur me into updating more often! No point talking to myself, I do that enough already!
